How not to win over a bassoonist

First off.
The word bassoon has 2 S's and 2 O's.
Is that so hard for people to comprehend??

I had quite the comical experience today.
I got an email from my conductor asking if some of the members in our band wouldn't mind playing in the San Juan Youth Symphony Orchestra.
Yes.
Well I look at the time commitments, think about my schedule and decided I can't fit it all in without going crazy.
And then just on a whim I look at the instrumentation they need.

Of course they need my instrument.
I mean it is Durango, and there are not very many musicians in this town, much less a bassoonist.
BUT here is the catch.
The other conductor wasn't looking for 2 bassoons.
He was looking for 2 bassons.

This guy is a director.
He has dealt with all different types of instruments and music all his life.
And he forgets an O in bassoon.
Which seeing as we are already forgotten as it is, and they do need 2 bassoonists, isn't really winning over anyone with that he can't spell a damn instrument that he needs.

I'm just saying, if you want musicians, be able to spell the name of their instrument correctly.

I emailed my director back, told him of the grammatical error and he responded in his normal fashion with "Not cool."
My thoughts exactly Dr. Walters.
